At the beginning of September, the day before the concubine was canonized, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already received the canonization ceremony for the concubine, made the auspicious clothes and court clothes to be used, and sent a natural picture of Ji Ling.
There was also a leading female officer accompanying Ji Ling, who came specifically to teach Ji Ling the etiquette of the concubine's day.
This is much more complicated than being a noble person back then.
Ji Ling sat upright, raised his ears, and listened to her attentively. If he didn't understand something clearly, he would interrupt her and ask her a second time in detail.
Naturally, the female officers did not dare to be negligent. They all looked respectful and explained clearly to her in a soft and slow voice.
In the courtyard with natural paintings, Xiao Fenzi pointed at two handy eunuchs early in the morning and spread a red silk brocade cloth on the ground.
At this time, concubines' rewards were being delivered in a steady stream by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the end, there was really no room to put some boxes, and they were still being delivered from outside, so they had to be stacked high and low.
Qilin shook its furry little tail, jumping back and forth between boxes of different heights, and shuttled happily. It seemed that she also knew that Ji Ling was about to become a concubine. Xiao Fenzi almost got caught by this little ball of fur several times while walking.
Stumbled over.
Bixue was so busy that she wished she had six eyes and eight hands, so how could she have time to take care of Qilin? She turned around and saw Qilin jumping onto a small box at the top.
I don't know what the small box contained, but it was shaking with Qilin's movements.
Bixue was so anxious that she stamped her feet and shouted: "Little ancestor! Come down quickly!"
Qilin stood on it, unable to reach it due to Bixue, and tilted his head at her: A little bit...
Then, Xiao Yoko happened to pass by. He caught a glimpse of it and walked over silently. He stretched out his hand and quickly fished out the unicorn, and handed it to Bixue with both hands.
Bixue took Qilin and held it in her arms. She lowered her head with a red face and said, "Thank you!"
When she raised her head, Xiao Yoko had already gone away.
Some heavy and large boxes have been gradually carried into the north wing by Xiao Fenzi and others. The remaining trivial items are actually the most energy-consuming and time-consuming to pack.
Qixi was beside him, listening to the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs finishing the remaining entries, taking the reward booklet, and going through it one by one.
After the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs left, she held the reward booklet with her face almost pressed against it. She read it from beginning to end and decided to start packing up the concubine's auspicious and court uniforms first.
The noble master is about to become a concubine. According to the rules of the palace, he has three imperial crowns: one in summer and one in winter.
The summer one has a delicate and soft velvet top, while the winter one has a dyed mink crown.
In addition, there is a golden silk Erzhai bird court crown worn in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to the specifications and grades of pearls used by concubines in the palace - the top of this court crown is a matte eastern pearl the size of a Hotan jujube.
One; there is a fourth-grade pearl on the left and right; and below it is surrounded by a circle of small pale golden pearls. Thin and delicate jade-inlaid flower branches hang down behind the crown.
At the bottom is a coral decoration with a gold base.
Bixue could hardly move her eyes when she saw it - she had never seen a concubine's imperial crown before, but the one sent to the noble master by the Ministry of Internal Affairs seemed to be particularly exquisite and gorgeous.
Two people held it and presented it to Ji Ling.
Jilinto tried it in his hand and almost fell it - luckily Qixi caught it below.
It’s so heavy! Fortunately, I don’t have to wear this crown every day, otherwise if I put it on my head like this, I would become bald sooner or later!
Ji Ling looked down at the concubine's court clothes again.
Like the imperial crown, the imperial attire of this concubine is also divided into winter and summer.
What she will soon wear as a concubine is a summer court dress - made of azurite with gold edges, a golden silk ribbon hanging from the back of the collar, and a pattern of longevity and blessings below. The skirt is decorated with coral horns.
Come, exquisite and swaying.
The winter court dress is fragrant in color. Except for the texture and thickness, the pattern is similar to the summer dress. Only a golden sea dragon edge is added to the skirt. The lower end of the sea dragon edge pattern is tied with red brocade longevity satin.
There is also something charming and charming in the dignified and elegant style.
There are also matching court beads - the queen's court beads are made of Eastern pearls, the court beads of the imperial concubine and concubine are made of third-class pearls, and for the concubines and concubines, the court beads are made of coral.
The string of beads used by Ji Lingji in front of me is a large ruby pendant. It is composed of three strings of small coral beads and has a fine texture and clear color.
These gorgeous costumes and crowns have taken up five boxes that are big enough to hold an adult.
Not to mention the dazzling array of jewelry and all kinds of soft, golden and precious fabrics given by Yinzhen...
Fourth Master... Whoever you like, you can't wait to give him all the good things around you with a wave of your hand.
While putting it away, Qixi gently knocked on the jewelry box and glanced at Bixue with an expression like "Look! Master just said you don't need to bring too many clothes, just come to Old Summer Palace for jewelry! You will get it here naturally."
.
After all these clothes were put into the large wardrobe with gold flowers and birds in the back room, the door could hardly be closed.
Qixi and Bixue could only take out all the clothes one by one, fold them carefully, and then stagger them from head to tail to save space as much as possible - but some clothes have three-dimensional flowers and pearls on them. If they are pressed down forcefully,
If it does, it will be damaged.
She and Bixue worked hard for a long time before they finally put all these gorgeous clothes into the cabinet.
At this time, Ji Ling happened to go out for a walk - to the north wing where Xiao Fenzi was tidying up, to look at some large items. After a while, she came back with Qilin in her arms, and put Qilin on the ground when she entered the room.
She smiled and asked Qixi: "Has the court uniform been put away?"
Qixi was kneeling on the mattress to clean it up. Before she could speak, Bixue smiled and nodded: "Master, they have all been packed away in the closet."
Ji Ling walked to the closet without thinking, smiled and said: "That's right, let me take a look!", while opening the door,
Qixi turned her head, she had just caught a glimpse, and it was too late to stop her... All the clothes in the closet suddenly poured out like a colorful flood.
Qilin had been running around at Ji Ling's feet, but at this time it was instantly buried in clothes.
Ji Ling:......!
She immediately squatted down and hurriedly pulled Qilin's short legs out from the pile of clothes.
Fortunately, they were wearing light and soft clothes, so Qilin was not injured.
It stood up on its four short legs, with a head of tangled hair, shook the threads on its head, and looked a little confused.
Ji Ling looked at the clothes in the cabinet, and suddenly remembered a wardrobe management software that he had used on his mobile phone before time travel. It was convenient and easy to use. As long as he took photos and uploaded the clothes, he could manage them by category, and it was easy to search.
very convenient.
But this is the Yongzheng period, so... I can only think about it.
That night, in the natural painting, several servants who accompanied Ji Chang when he was in trouble from the west courtyard of Jingyang Palace were very excited.
The master is about to be promoted to the concubine position and become a concubine!
In this harem, the future of the master is the future of the slaves, not to mention a master like Ji Guiren who is easy to serve and has a kind heart!
Being able to stay by the side of a lucky noble is like falling into a nest of blessings.
Qixi was so happy that she didn't sleep all night.
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed during happy events. At about four o'clock in the night, Qixi was full of energy. She looked at the time and lay on the head of Ji Ling's bed, gently pushing her awake.
As soon as Ji Ling opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the two girls Qixi and Bixue in the dim light. They smiled so much that their white front teeth were exposed. They looked like two big owls, except that their eyes were no longer green.
They all said in unison: "Ms. Concubine Chen! My servants, please help Concubine Chen get up!"
Ji Ling covered her face with the quilt, groaned and rolled around on the bed, then sat up with two big dark circles under her eyes with perseverance: Who can tell her why the Qing palace always liked to have early morning no matter what ceremony it was?
conduct!
She sat in front of the dressing table, facing the mirror, and carefully applied the eye concealer with a small brush.
A good makeup base comes first. A beautiful makeup is inseparable from careful foundation and concealer.
Sure enough, as soon as the dark circles were removed, the whole person suddenly looked brighter, and with the addition of eye shadow, eyeliner...
Because today is Ji Ling's big day, and the concubine Feng's court dress is dignified, calm, and rich in color, Ji Ling specially made her makeup a little thicker.
When makeup is applied, a person's aura seems to change.
When Qixi and Bixue put on the concubine's court clothes and crown for Ji Ling, the two palace maids looked at Ji Ling in the mirror and were a little stunned.
The figure of the noble master is a little thin, but the shoulder design of the court dress cleverly conceals this point, adding a sense of majesty.
Ji Ling looked into the mirror.
The woman in palace attire in the mirror, under her crown, has beautiful eyebrows like distant mountains. The peak of the eyebrows is thickest, and becomes lighter as it goes back. The tail of the eyebrows is as thin as clouds and smoke, flying thinly and faintly into the temples.
Under the eyebrows, a pair of clear eyes showed calmness - no, rather than saying calmness, it would be more appropriate to say a sense of security.
The sense of security of being cared for and loved wholeheartedly.
She looked at the person in the mirror and raised the corners of her mouth.
The concubine in the mirror was also looking at her and smiling sweetly.
After dressing up, Ji Ling didn't dare to eat much for breakfast. He simply put some small pastries on it, which were dry and moisture-free. After all, this outfit was inconvenient, not to mention wearing a court crown on his head.
Woolen cloth!
Then she started to wait and wait.
When she couldn't bear the thirst, she took another sip of glutinous rice porridge, and finally arrived at the beginning of the morning - this was the auspicious time given by Qin Tianjian.
The ceremony began.
In the courtyard with natural patterns, festival tables and incense tables have been laid out for a long time. Inside, the east and west are divided into book cases and treasure cases. The inner palace guard has already set up the concubine's colorful ceremony outside the palace gate.
The female officer and the two teams of ceremonial chamberlains also arrived early and had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that the auspicious moment had arrived, they walked solemnly from the colorful banners on both sides and walked into the natural painting.
One of the chamberlains held the ceremony, and the other held the treasure book in his hand. The so-called "holding the book of festivals" walked to the incense table with a solemn expression and kept his eyes straight, and then the female official began to read out the decree of the canonization.
Ji Ling was supported by Qixi, and she knelt down tremblingly to receive the order. She was not used to wearing the imperial crown on her head, and she kept reminding herself to move smaller.
Don't lower your head, the crown will fall off.
"...The noble Ji family has a gentle and gentle virtue. A clear and prudent heart. She is a boudoir in the wings and restrains the association. The rope is clear and the heart is clear. I hereby appoint you as a concubine of the Jin Dynasty. The seal of the tin book. I admire the inheritance of the Yi canon and declare it."
The four virtues are used to extend the blessings of the emperor, and to increase the blessings of He. I admire this."
The first words sounded pleasant to Ji Ling, but the next words made Ji Ling confused.
But it's okay, as long as you understand the words "Noble person Ji" and "Jin conferred you as a concubine".
When the words "Qin this" came out, Ji Ling knew that he had to quickly thank Tian En.
